    I had E load. Had the same problems. Switched to a P load in the same tire. Much better. Our trucks to way enough to take advantage of the tire in an E load. It was like driving on hockey puck even aired down to 20 psi.

    Might be onto something here. I run the C load (265's) and couldn't be happier. E load is overkill on a Tacoma and the downsides are numerous and even D load is debatable. For me the 6ply C Load will do all I need and then some, balances perfectly and saves me money at the pump plus handles quicker and smoother than a heavy sidewall tire. Not like I'm going to throw 5 tons into the bed so no need for that heavy duty truck stuff.

    Picture thread.

    Agreed. The Duratrac E loads took like 25-30g to balance and he had a hard time getting it right. Same wheel used and installer on the Duratrac "P loads". He said it was way easier to balance and only took like 3 or 5g to do so. IMO C loads is max load I would put on these trucks unless the truck is used for special conditions. I know it's hard if someone wants a 285 because they're are very few C load options.

    I know this is probably a stretch but I'm interested in trading the scooped Pyrite Mica hood from my 2015 for a non-scoop version plus some cash. Local only; I'm in the San Diego area.

    Posted in the hood swap thread but given how few PM are out there I thought I'd also drop a note on this thread.

    I like the look of the Pro grill, Up4Tacos. That might be next on the mod list!
